And what is Duan Yu doing during this time?

  He wandered idly in the city of Chase Mansion, spending most of his time in the brothel.

   He has no money, but with his looks, there is no problem with eating and drinking, that is, he is unwilling, otherwise he will not be able to sleep.

   It's not that he has such a leisurely sentiment, but the Krypton Demon Eye keeps him wandering around in the brothel, listening to various sounds with his ears upright.

   screams, shouts, screams, roars, intercourse, bed, and care

   However, the 700,000 catties of coal he transported was still not sold.

   Moreover, there is no hope of selling at all.

   There is only half a day, and his parking fee is about to run out. He has to find a way to make money and earn parking fee.

   However, his deeds easily became famous throughout the Chase Mansion.

   Everyone knows that there is a fool who bought 700,000 catties of coal from Dongsang Country to sell at Chase, and he also offered a price of seven taels of silver and one thousand catties.

   The name of "Brain Remnant" resounds throughout the whole government.

  Even in the brothel, Duan Yu heard many versions that satirize his brain damage.

   Of course, these people only know that there is such a brain damage, but they don't know that this brain damage is nearby.

   Originally, the fleet had to go to the city to buy vegetables and fruits, and to take a bath and rest. Everyone felt ashamed, so they didn't get off the ship. He just wanted to quickly end this farce and return to Yingzhou.

   Every day they stayed on the ship, they lived like years.

  In the middle of the journey, Duan Yu came back once and gave Tan Qiu sixty taels of silver to continue the parking fee.

   Don’t ask where the money came from. Duan Yu didn’t suffer anyway, and he took a huge advantage.

   But it’s no use staying for a long time. The price of seven taels of silver is absolutely impossible to sell.

   Moreover, the one-month period from Ling Shuang's side is getting closer and closer.

   If you don't make any money back, the house of Ling Shuang will be taken away by Rich Man Xu.

  Moreover, Heilongtai will also start investigating Ling Shuang's so-called bribery case, Lin Guanghan's embezzlement of public funds.

  …………

  At this moment, Ou Ye Zhan, the three young masters of Ouye Workshop, was extremely distressed.

His family runs the largest smelting workshop in the western Shanxi province, which produces several million catties of iron each year. Although the Dawu Empire adopted a system of monopolizing iron and salt, the Ouyeel family had the power to smelt iron, but did not have the power to sell. To the government, but even so, the Ouyeel family is still very rich.

   As far as big families are concerned, there will definitely be competition, and the Ouyeel family is no exception.

   Patriarch is already old, and several sons are fighting openly and secretly, wanting to fight for the position of Patriarch.

   The three young masters, Ouye, took a new path and took the technical road, wanting to improve the ironmaking process and reduce the cost of ironmaking.

   For a long time, everyone has used charcoal to make iron, which has become the law.

   The high price of charcoal, coupled with the lack of trees in the western Shanxi province, so charcoal needs to be purchased from outside, plus the toll, the price is higher, for example, this year's charcoal plus the toll is as high as fifteen taels of silver a thousand catties.

   The charcoal needed for ironmaking is very amazing, basically one catty of iron and eight catties of charcoal.

   There is not much charcoal in the western Shanxi province, but there is a lot of coal, so the idea of ​​the European Metallurgical War is clear, using coal to make iron.

   Actually, this is not a new way. Many people have tried it before.

   The effect is very bad.

  The iron smelted from coal is too brittle, and it can be used to make ordinary farm tools, but it is totally impossible to make weapons and cannot be sold at a high price.

   The European smelting war continued to improve the process and research, heating the coal to evaporate the water vapor, turning it into blue charcoal (semi-coke), and then using it to make iron.

   But it still doesn't work. The iron produced is still very brittle.

   Repeated battles and repeated defeats, repeated defeats and repeated battles.

   It has been four or five years. The third son, Ouye, used coal to smelt iron. Instead, he became the laughing stock of the family. He kept falling behind in the fight for the head of the family. Now the hope is very slim.

   He also thought about it, is it the cause of coal?

   So, he tried all the coal in the entire Jinxi province, but it still didn't work.

   If Duan Yu was there, he would know the reason. This is because the sulfur and phosphorus in the coal are too high, so the smelted iron is very brittle.

  As long as you find high-grade coal and turn it into coke, ironmaking is very good.

  …………

   The experiment failed again, and the third young master Ou Yezhan returned home in disgrace.

   On the way, he met his second brother, and the cynicism of the other party seemed extremely harsh.

   He can endure all these, the key is that his father's disappointed eyes made Ou Yezhan frustrated, and he really wanted to give up.

   It has been so many years, and there is no hope of success at all.

   When he got home, he didn't even want to take a bath, so he just went back to bed and lay down.

   There is no hope of competing for the position of Patriarch.

   Facing his depression, his wife felt very distressed and tried every means to make her husband happy.

"Husband, do you know that there was a big joke in Chase Mansion recently?" said his wife: "There is a man who bought 700,000 catties of coal from Dongsang Country and transported it to our Chase Mansion for sale. This is not a fool. Does it matter that he still sells seven taels of silver and a thousand catties..."

   Hearing this, the third son Ou Yezhan suddenly stood up and said, "What did you say?"

   said his wife: "He has to sell for seven two to one thousand catties."

   Ouye warned: "Where did his coal come from?"

   said his wife: "Dongsang Country, thousands of miles away from us."

   Ouye said: "Where is the coal?"

   said his wife: "At the dock."

   Ou Ye Zhan jumped up suddenly, rushed out the door, and said loudly: "Get your horse, go to the dock."

  …………

   More than an hour later.

   "There are really fools in this world!" Tan Qiu was surprised.

  Because someone really spent 70 taels of silver just now and bought 10,000 catties of coal.

   The man was dirty and black, and looked like a madman. He pulled away the ten thousand catties of coal and ran away without saying a word.

   There are a couple of silver and a thousand catties of coal everywhere in the entire Chase Mansion, and they came to buy seven or two thousand catties of coal. What is this not because the brain is flooded?

   But this kind of madman only appears by chance, and it is impossible to become the norm.

   And it's 700,000 catties, and it won't be sold out in the Year of the Monkey.

   The key thing is that **** Duan Yu is still happy and happy in the brothel, which is really annoying.

  …………

   Ouyezhan brought 10,000 catties of coal back to the workshop, and immediately turned the coal into blue charcoal.

   Next, without any delay, I used these cokes to make iron directly.

   He hadn't slept for three days and three nights before, and his eyes were red, but he was not sleepy at all, but he was energetic.

   "Master, you go to sleep, otherwise your body will really be unable to hold it." The master craftsman said: "When the iron is out, I will tell you that."

   Ou Yezhan shook his head and said, "No, absolutely no, I want to watch the iron come out with my own eyes!"

   Just like that, he was waiting outside the blast furnace.

   is getting closer and closer to the time it was released.

   Ou Yezhan's mood is getting more and more nervous, and his heartbeat is getting faster and faster.

   He has failed countless times, and he is desperate.

   He decided that this is the last time. If it fails again this time and the iron produced is still very brittle, he will formally give up.

   not only gave up the way of making iron with coal, but also completely gave up competing for the position of master.

   is coming out soon.

   Ou Yezhan knelt down, closed his eyes and prayed.

   "The ancestors and ancestors are on the top, please bless the unscrupulous children and grandchildren to succeed."

   "The ancestors and ancestors are here, please bless the unworthy descendants of Ou Yeh to fight..."

   The three young masters, Ou Yezhan kept praying, and everyone next to him looked very sad. Over the years, they can see clearly that the only three young masters have stayed with them in the workshop for many years to make iron, and the other young masters have made friends with the rich and powerful outside.

   In just four or five years, the three young masters seem to be twenty years old.

   But just being so serious, so hard, and still useless, not only failed, but became the laughing stock of many people outside.

   And the hope of competing for the owner of the house is extremely slim.

   So the craftsmen around, like Ouye Zhan, are eager for success this time.

time up.

   A craftsman shouted: "It's out."

   The red molten iron flows out and flows into the mold.

   An old craftsman trembled: "Master, the color of the molten iron is a bit different this time. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

   After the molten iron had solidified slightly, the craftsman couldn't wait to cool it down with water.

   Next, it's time to decide success or failure. Put the cooled iron bar between the two stone slabs, raise the hammer, and smash it down drastically.

  In the past, all the iron bars were smashed directly because they were too brittle.

  Everyone is praying, we must succeed, must succeed.

  God must pay for work.

   "Smash!" The Third Young Master yelled.

   The craftsman’s hammer slammed down.

"when!"

   There was a loud noise, and sparks shot in all directions.

   The iron bar was not broken, but bent down.

   Everyone was taken aback and surprised.

   Then ecstasy!

   For a long time, the Third Young Master Ou Yezhan trembled and said, "This...this is what it's done?"

   The old craftsman took the hammer and slammed it down again. The iron bar remained unbroken, but it became more curved.

   This iron is very good, not brittle at all, and very tough.

   Then, the old craftsman hissed: "Master, we succeeded, we succeeded."

   "Master, we made iron with coal and succeeded!"

   "You have taken a path that no one has done."

   "We made it!"

   The three young masters, Ou Yezhan, picked up the piece of iron, still steaming.

   He was extremely ecstatic and excited in his heart, but tears burst out.

   finally succeeded. Five years of hard work were not in vain.

   I made it!

  Hahahaha!

   The high-priced coal purchased at 7.2 kilo catties is really easy to use.
